High internal phase emulsions are highly concentrated emulsion systems consisting of a large volume of dispersed phase above 0.74. The rheological properties of high internal phase water-in-oil emulsions were measured conducting steady shear, oscillatory shear and creep/recovery experiments. It was found that the yield stress is inversely proportional to the drop size with the exponent of values between 1 and 2. Since the oil phase contains monomeric species, microcellular foams can easily be prepared from high internal phase emulsions. In this study, the microcellular foams combining a couple of thickeners into the conventional formulation of styrene and water system were investigated to understand the effect of viscosity ratio on cell size. Cell size variation on thickener concentration could be explained by a dimensional analysis between the capillary number and the viscosity ratio. Compression properties of foam are important end use properties in many practical applications. Crush strength and Young's modulus of microcellular foams polymerized from high internal phase emulsions were measured and compared from compression tests. Of the foams tested in this study, the foam prepared from the organoclay having reactive group as an oil phase thickener showed outstanding compression properties.

Sole-binder formulation has been recently introduced to solve the problems of coating process and printability caused by use of natural polymer However, the decrease of natural polymer application causes another problem in paper coating. Therefore, synthetic thickener is used to get similar effect to natural polymer usage. In this study. low shear viscosity, dewatering of coating colors were measured to evaluate the performance of the alkali sensitive water retention and rheology modifiers. The effects of alkali sensitive thickener on the physical properties of coated paper and printability were also investigated. The gloss and printability of coated paper containing the synthetic flow modifier were similar or superior to those of CMC containing coated paper. This modifier was also effective to improve the problems caused by the use of starch. The results indicated that the flow modifier synthesized with alkali sensitive thickener can reduce the problems of natural polymer and could be a good substitute f3r a natural polymer.

The residual treatment facilities in WTP(water treatment plant) play an important role in solid-liquid separation. At present, it is difficult to solve problems related with thickening and dewatering of WTP sludge, and discharging waste water to river. The quantity of residuals generated from water treatment plants depends upon the raw water quality, dosage of chemicals used, performance of the treatment process, method of sludge removal, efficiency of sedimentation, and backwashing frequency. Sludge production by the physical separation of SS(Suspended Solid) occurs under quiescent conditions in the primary clarifier, where SSs are allowed to settle and to consolidate on the clarifier bottom. Raw primary sludge results when the settled solids are hydraulically removed from the tank. In this study, Drawing characteristics of the sludge thickening in the thickener of Water Treatment Plants was simulated by Using CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics.

무기 점도증진제를 도입한 고내상 에멀션 중합법에 의해 고강도의 열린 기공을 갖는 미세구조 발포체를 제조하였다. 오일상 점도증진제로 유기화 점토를 사용하였고 수용상 점도증진제로는 무처리된 친수성 점토인 천연 몬모릴로나이트를 사용하였다. 고내상 에멀션의 유변물성은 오일상 점도증진제의 농도와 교반속도가 증가할수록 증가하였는데 이는 연속상 점도와 분산상 점도간의 경쟁과 전단력의 증가를 반영하여 액적의 크기를 감소시켰기 때문이었다. 점도증진제 농도에 따른 액적의 크기 변화는 캐필러리 수와 점도비 사이의 무차원 해석으로 설명할 수 있었다. 고내상 에멀션을 중합하여 제조한 발포체를 대상으로 파괴 강도 및 압축 탄성률로 표현되는 압축 물성을 측정하여 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 제조한 미세기공 발포체 중에서 반응성 작용기를 지닌 유기화 점토를 도입한 발포체의 경우 우수한 압축 물성을 보여 주었다. 이는 유기화 점토가 폴리스티렌 매트릭스 내에 박리된 형태로 존재하여 나노복합 발포체를 이루기 때문으로 사료된다.

비열처리가공기술 중 하나로 새롭게 주목받고 있는 초고압처리를 반고형 형태의 친환경 유기농 이유식 제조에 적용하여 완제품 형태로 제조 후 냉장 조건으로 저장하여 저장기간에 따른 제품 안전성을 조사하였다. 가열 처리를 하지 않고 550 MPa 압력에서 3분 동안 초고압 처리하여 냉장 상태로 15일 동안 저장한 결과, 일반세균과 대장균 모두 검출되지 않아 미생물학적 안전성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 초고압 처리를 하지 않은 대조군에서 일반세균이 $2.54{\times}10^3$, $7.85{\times}10^2$ CFU/g 수준으로 검출되었던 것과 비교했을 때 초고압 처리를 하는 것이 제품의 신선도를 살리고 제품의 안전성을 유지하기 위해 적합한 처리법이라고 판단되어진다. 초고압 처리를 통한 물성 변화는 처리 전 대조구와 점도, 스푼풀 현상을 비교하였을 때 큰 차이가 나타나지 않는 것으로 나타났고, 그 결과 사과의 신선한 상태를 유지하고 미생물학적 안전성 역시 유지하면서 냉장상태로 약 2주간 저장이 가능한 친환경 반고형 이유식을 제조할 수 있었다.

정수공정 중에 응집된 망간은 슬러지 농축조에 체류하는 동안 재용출 되어 배출수의 망간 허용기준치를 초과하는 문제가 발생되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 정수공정 중에 슬러지 농축조 배출수의 pH를 조정함으로써 망간 농도에 미치는 pH의 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 초기 pH 6.1에서는 응집된 슬러지로부터 망간이 재용출 되어 청정지역 배출 기준인 2mg/L를 초과하였으나 NaOH, KOH, CaO, $Ca(OH)_2$, $CaCO_3$ 등 알칼리 물질을 이용하여 pH를 상승시켰을 경우 망간 농도를 청정지역 배출 기준 이하로 낮출 수 있었다. 또한 알칼리성 물질로서 석회석 광산에서 선별과정 중 발생하는 폐석회석을 이용하여 정수장 슬러지의 망간 재용출을 억제할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

So many drinking water treatment plants are under various difficulties by new reinforced effluent standards. Since the target turbidity, much higher than annual average, for designing sludge thickener have to be set to confront high turbidity season, the sludge at thickener should be put up for a long time during usual days. So the soluble manganese and chloroform may be formed under the anaerobic environment in the sludge thickener when the sludge retention time is longer with low turbidity. This phenomenon results in difficulties to keep regulatory level of the discharged effluent. For an effort to overcome the problems, a sludge aeration was successfully implemented into the thickening process. As a result, the final effluent quality and sludge volume were much improved; 41 % of manganese, 62 % of chloroform and 35 % of sludge volume. Additionally, effluent quality was improved ; 61 % of Manganese on aeration with pH control and we could make sure of stability effluent quality despite a long sludge retention time. We recommended the standard of installation sludge aeration equipment to nationally supply water treatment plant under effluent water quality problem ; Manganese, Chloroform, etc.

For a more effectively designed gravity thickener, thickening experiments were conducted for residuals produced by a ceramic membrane water treatment plant (WTP). Two kinds of residuals, one from backwashing (BW) and the other from chemically enhanced backwashing (CEB) procedure, were separately collected during a pilot plant experiment and their limiting solid flux ($SF_L$) measured. Batch thickening experiments showed that the BW and CEB residual had $SF_L$ of 10 and $25kg/m^2{\cdot}d$, respectively. Continuous operation of a pilot-scale gravity thickener proved that a mixed BW and CEB residual could be successfully thickened at the solid loading rate (SLR) of $12kg/m^2{\cdot}d$, allowing the concentration of the thickened residual to be about $15kg/m^2{\cdot}d$. From the experimental results and consideration of the seasonal thickening characteristics of the residual, SLR of $15kg/m^2{\cdot}d$ was proposed as a design parameter for full-scale gravity thickeners.

The main emphasis of this study is to optimize the process variables for manufacturing aluminum foam materials by direct foaming of remelted aluminum scraps. Aluminum foams were fabricated from two different raw materials, pure aluminum and used beverage cans. For both cases, $TiH_{2}$ was used as a foaming agent. Calcium was added as a thickener for the foaming of pure aluminum and no thickener was added for that of used beverage Cans because the pre-existing oxides of the used beverage cans are used as a thickener. Calcium and $TiH_{2}$ content varies from 0.5wt.% to 2.0wt.% and from 0.5wt.% to 1.5wt.%, respectively. The processing conditions, such as the effect of calcium on the melt viscosity, foaming temperature, and the optimum amount of the foaming agent with regard to the melt viscosity were discussed.

It was possible to produce W/O/W one step multiple emulsion on the system which satisfied following conditions. 1. 1-5％ of hydrophilic liquid surfactant over HLB20 and lipophilic liquid surfactant which has HLB 3∼5 2. Non wax copolymers as oil thickener 3. More than 0.5％ of carbomer as aqueous thickener 4. The manufacturing process which neutralize the dispersed carbomer (2.0％ in water), after emulsifying. For the selective addition into inner and outer aqueous phase, we melted the glucose in water before emulsifying. Using an Anthrone analysis method, we analyzed the encapsulation yield of glucose in inner water phase. It was possible to raise the water encapsulation yield of the multiple emulsion through the following conditions. 1. Using of anionic hydrophilic surfactant(HLB 40) and lipophilic surfactant (HLB 3∼5) 2. Controlling the ratio of hydrophilic surfactant and lipophilic surfactant 3. Strengthening interface with increase of non wax oil thickener. When the separated adding process of glucose was adopted, approximately 85％ of glucose was added selectively within inner aqueous phase.
